#Arda Wigs

[searincosplay]

My new TP Link wig that I just finished styling as a part of my Magic Armor Link upgrades for Crown! I was going for more of the wispy, realistic look portrayed in the artwork pieces. I want to make Ordon Village Link and remake his green tunic look and already had a wig on hand for it, so I figured I might as well go for styling it now 😁

Base wig is an Arda Wigs Ken in Dark Ash Blonde. I did extensive plucking and ventilating into the hairline to feather it and add more direction to make it look more natural. I plucked and cross knotted the side part. The rest is knotted away from the face to add gravity defying lift to the bangs, and the hair slowly angles downwards on the sides.

I did some light crimping and combing out on the interior of the bangs, followed by teasing them into an anti-gravity poof. After that, I trimmed and layered the bangs and side pieces. I used a steamer to tame and shape the bangs, and a hair straightener to add a little bit of wave throughout and flips to the ends for texture. The final step was going in with several shades of Copic markers to add more lowlights and color variation like Link's hair in the game!

Crimping and teasing is magic, this wig doesn't have any hairspray in it yet! I'm going to try to avoid adding spray or gel to it except to tame flyaways since it's going to need some styling TLC anyway after being worn under the Magic Armor crown. Once I'm going I wear it for Ordon or green tunic Link then I'll give it the full sturdy styling treatment 😅

Hey, cosplay community, can anyone suggest a comparable model to Arda's Nigel (layered, extra-thick top for Squeenix spiking) from some other wig supplier?

I tried to order the Nigel, but ran into a website issue, and Arda's customer service has made it clear that they are Very Much Not Interested in either solving my issue or retaining me as a customer, so I'm looking for another option. I'm having trouble finding another wig as thick, though. (A few years ago I would have just sewn extra weft in to get the volume I need, but given my recent neurological issues, I'm trying to reduce the amount of hand-sewing I have to do because the nerves in my arm only have so many spoons... or something, terrible analogy but you get the picture.)

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!

As an update, the wig is still on backorder. My soul has left my body. Will be going to Anime Boston so I really hope it ships by then.

Also quite dizzy. I think the higher dose of Wellbutrin has been fucking me up a bit.

Idk if anyone here is particularly interested in cosplay as an art/lifestyle but it's MY blog and I get to ramble about the stupid shit I do

I'm on Remus wig #3 because I just haven't liked the way they've been turning out:

I started with a long wig to parallel my Roman cosplay, but the long hair + the high collar just kinda. made my neck disappear. and it wasn't a very flattering look:

Then Cade lent me his brown Rufio and I really liked it but we had wanted color-coded wigs for each character (red for Roman, blond for Janus, blue streaks for Logan and Patton, etc) so I REALLY wanted a green mohawk (plus i didn't want to add a silver streak and mess up Cade's wig):

That brings us to wig #2, a brown Rufio with blond mohawk. Arda doesn't sell it in green so I endeavored to find a way to spot dye the 'hawk. That didn't work out due to the mechanics of trying to submerge only part of a very short, oddly-shaped wig in boiling water/Rit dye, so I ended up with a weird, spiky, shiny, off-color nightmare wig:

Here's where I decided to get WEIRD. I bought another brown sides/blond 'hawk Rufio from Arda and decided to try foiling it, like when hairdressers do blond highlights.

The logic: It recently occurred to me that Rit seals with heat, not water and heat. You only have to boil your object because it's pretty much the only safe, consistent way to keep the dye and the object hot long enough for the dye to set. Enter heat-resistant wigs. Since the boiling water is only necessary as a mechanism to prolonged heat, I thought I could achieve the same result with a straightener or hair dryer

That sort of worked.

It took forever, was extremely inefficient, and resulted in a very pale dye job. Somehow, the small test patch I did took me 2 HOURS. Granted I did knock over my dye and have a fairly long interlude where I cleaned it out of my carpet...

So I got fed up, painted the dye all over the 'hawk, covered everything in foil, and stuck that damn wig in the oven

Per their website, Arda wigs are heat resistant up to 420°F, but I stuck with 325 tops just in case, turning the oven off and on to keep from overdoing things

And y'all??? I just took my wig out of the oven after letting it cool overnight, rinsed it, aaaaaand

RESOUNDING SUCCESS!

The temperature of the oven wasn't hot enough to warp the wig fibers, but was sufficient to set the dye, so now after I make a few adjustments I have my perfect Remus wig!!!

I'm so happy!!!

I need to do another pass (I was worried about running out of dye since I spilled a bunch), but look how deep and rich that color is!! That's post-rinsing, too; I made sure the water was running completely clear before I took the pic

Aaaahhhh!!!!

So apparently Arda Wigs’ Canadian website has a whole tutorial section that American site doesn’t.

It’s easier to see the mint text if you click on the pictures.

Where are cosplayers getting their wigs in 2023 that isn't Amazon, Arda, or EpicCosplay? I'd prefer a company rather than wholesale site like eBay or Taobao. I used to buy a lot of Arda but every time I go on the site now they never have what I'm looking for

#wigs #cosplay #question #i want to cosplay my viera but arda no longer sells jane in white and the light grey might not be available when i order in a few weeks #also in general #i need a wig and they no longer carry it
